Heart Dioramas
Please click to
enlarge any photo.
A recent anniversary mixed media mosaic
commission involved a free hanging mosaic heart utilising pieces of beautiful
pottery, many pieces with real 1930's designs. This was hung in the front of a
metal edged 3 dimensional box frame lined with poetry quotes and dates,
names and details embellished with jewels and glitter.
The message on the back was edged with red and
the piece was hung with red cord. This was my first attempt at mosaic and shows
I am always willing to try out new designs to answer your brief.
Or maybe, you would just like a pottery heart.
Just
email me to discuss your
very own commission.
Prices for this sort of design are approx
£65.00 and the size is about 8" square although frames vary as to what I have in
stock.
Maybe you have a special poem that means a lot
to you. This silver frame encloses a 3d heart hanging in front of a collage of a
memorable poem "Let me count the ways".
I can work with you designing an artwork which
best cases your favourite item or memory.
Just email me or phone me to discuss.
Prices from £45 - 65.00.
Watercolour Painting by 'Lyndsay' - Prices
from £95.00
Lyndsay is a known watercolour artist who
regularly exhibits in London and is swiftly making a name for herself. Her
style is fun and full of life. The two pictures above were designed to form a
watercolour collage of several events during the year to create a lovely
present. The collages depict a number of trips ands events over the previous
year.
If you like, the wedding could be part of a
collage of images that form a larger picture. This may include the bouquet,
church or reception venue, the cake and other items.
Her water colour work hangs in galleries and
has been commissioned by individual patrons as well as a number of top interior
designers sourcing works of art for their clients. She has recently created an
illustrated children's books which is being launched on September 14th this
year.
She has recently
created an illustrated children’s book which was published in September 2007.

Romantic
by nature, Lyndsay was inspired by the
notion of a truly original first
anniversary memento and has come up with
some lovely ideas and agreed to work at
competitive prices to offer these
stunning presents. Normally her
water colour work would command
significantly higher prices but by
cutting out agent & gallery costs we are
able to bring you a fantastic offer.
'Lyndsay' has kindly agreed to sign each
original in her normal fashion.
Email
us a photograph of a scene or a portrait
and 'Lyndsay' will paint a watercolour to
capture the moment forever.
Here are a range of successful commissions through Driftwood Dreams. Honeymoons
and weddings were drawn from photos taken in the Bahamas, Jamaica, Maldives and
Whitby.
To see a fairy wedding please visit the
>>Weddings
page.
Lyndsay can paint a lovely watercolour of the venue of the wedding. This would
make a beautiful wedding present. This picture was of Tynley hall.
Lyndsay enjoys coming up with a design to capture your happiest moments
together. Lyndsay works fast and can turn around a watercolour commission for
you in a short time span.
A
watercolour bouquet can be a lovely
romantic gift painted with 3d textured
words to give a romantic message. As the paintings are on paper, this would be an ideal gift for
a paper or first anniversary present...or for than matter, any anniversary.
Paintings come with a mount but not
framed for ease of postage.
Paintings from £75.00 plus delivery.
Another idea is to ask 'Lyndsay' to paint a picture composed of
items that mean something special to you.
Email us
and give us your thoughts. We are always
happy to help you with some inspiration.
